//config:	  The pivot_root utility swaps the mount points for the root filesystem
//config:	  with some other mounted filesystem. This allows you to do all sorts
//config:	  of wild and crazy things with your Linux system and is far more
//config:	  powerful than 'chroot'.

//config:	  Note: This is for initrd in linux 2.4. Under initramfs (introduced
//config:	  in linux 2.6) use switch_root instead.
